When the teacher discovered it, it was an ordinary Sword Meditation class afternoon. The Kendo hall of the Shin'ō Academy was temporarily requisitioned as the venue for the Sword Meditation class. The students sat cross-legged in their respective positions, with Asauchi lying horizontally in front of them, with their eyes closed. Some frowned, some moved their lips slightly, and some were breathing evenly as if they were asleep.
During class, Shunsui Kyōraku took out two knives from his long robe and gave one to Ukitake while the teacher was not paying attention. Ukitake was at a loss.
"Two of them together Sword Meditation" Shunsui Kyōraku whispered in Ukitake's ear
Ukitake looked at him in shock, knowing that he wouldn't be able to get rid of the knife for a while, so he used two of them Sword Meditation
Teaching starts with walking back and forth in the classroom
Occasionally stop behind certain students, bend down and whisper "Relax your shoulders"
Or "Don't grit your teeth, you won't be able to speak even if your teeth break the knife."
When he walked in front of a student who was sweating profusely, he stopped and took a few more glances. He could feel that the unstable Reiatsu output caused Reishi friction on the surface of the blade. This showed that he was using too much force and was not listening to the knife speak, but forcing the knife to speak.
The instructor put his hand on his shoulder and said in a very low voice, "Don't worry, Sword Meditation is not fighting. The harder you push, the faster it will respond. Relax a little and let it come to you."
The student's tense shoulders slowly relaxed under his palms
Everything was normal at first. When the instructor reached the last row against the wall, he stopped.
Two boys were sitting side by side. One was a noble boy, wearing a big cloak over his school uniform, and the other was a sick boy from Rukongai. The teacher knew them, Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake, the most troublesome and the most worry-free among the students of this year. I don't know how they got together.
Their Asauchi is placed horizontally in front of them, with two in front of each person.
The teacher rubbed his eyes, then rubbed them again, four handfuls of Asauchi!
"What are you doing!!!"
Kyōraku looked at the two Asauchi in front of him, then looked at the two Ukitake in front of him, then looked up at the teacher. "Sword Meditation class, we are in Sword Meditation."
The teacher's eyes twitched, and he wanted to say "I know this is Sword Meditation class", "That's not what I asked", and "Why are there four knives in front of you", but these questions were squeezed into a ball in the throat, and no one was willing to come out first.
His eyes glanced back and forth between the four Asauchi several times, as if to confirm whether he was dazzled by these four knives.
"Two knives?"
The teacher's voice was raised in disbelief. "You each have two swords?"
What is really incredible is that the two of them succeeded together with Sword Meditation.
Because each knife only recognizes one owner, and two knives resonate at the same time, it means that the soul itself has two sides, and both sides are strong enough to bear the weight of a Zanpakutō alone. This is not a talent, this is an abnormality.
The news reached Seireitei faster than expected. Although Spiritual Arts Academy's teachers are well-informed, things like Twin-Blade Zanpakutō are beyond the scope of anyone's experience. They know that this is not something they can handle.
The first person to receive the message was Yamamoto, but he had no further instructions.
It took half a day for the news to reach the noble circles than it did to the captains, but the response was ten times greater.
In the Kyoraku Clan's mansion, Shunsui Kyōraku's brother Kyoraku Haruyama, the heir of the Kyoraku Clan, held a tea cup in his hand with an expressionless face. A retainer knelt in front of him and reported the news of the Spiritual Arts Academy in detail, "Double swords? Shunsui went to the arsenal to get the swords for this reason?!"
The retainers were silent
But is the double sword Sword Meditation successful?
Haruyama was silent for a longer time
Spiritual Arts Academy It happened some time ago that Shuichi captain named Rukongai girl, and now Kyoraku Clan's second young master did it again Twin-Blade Zanpakutō
Kyoraku Clan As the first Upper Nobility to send his children to the Spiritual Arts Academy, he originally just wanted to take a ride, but the speed of this bus was much faster than expected.
The holder of Twin-Blade Zanpakutō, Soul Society, for the first time in history, is not someone else, but Kyoraku Clan
This means that Kyoraku Clan's position has changed from "the first to enter" to "being watched by everyone". For nobles, being watched is sometimes a good thing, sometimes a bad thing, and more often it is a little bit of both.
Tsunayashiro Clan responded equally quickly, not because they were the most well-informed, but because this matter touched on their core domain knowledge.
Tsunayashiro Clan is in charge of Great Spirit Library, Soul Society. All histories, classics, and secrets are recorded there, those that are allowed to be recorded, and those that are allowed to be forgotten.
They know the history of Twin-Blade Zanpakutō better than anyone else, or they know better than anyone else what "no record" means in itself.
Tsunayashiro Shiki is sitting in the study deep in Great Spirit Library, with a thick ancient book spread out in front of him. The pages are yellowed and the corners are worn. It contains records of the abnormal forms of Zanpakutō in the past. The entry for Twin-Blade Zanpakutō is blank.
"Send someone to the Spiritual Arts Academy"
Tsunayashiro Shiki's voice was not loud, but every word carried unquestionable weight. "Tell them that Great Spirit Library will collect the information of these two students, the holders of Twin-Blade Zanpakutō, and Soul Society for the first time in history, two people at a time."
The retainer took the order and turned around. When he reached the door, he was stopped. "Also, check the person named Jūshirō Ukitake. It's not easy."
The news about the double swords spread in Seireitei for three days
In these three days, some people were excited, some were uneasy, some were watching indifferently, and some had already begun to calculate the future weight of these two teenagers. During these three days, Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake were asked to "stay in the dormitory and not run around."
This is not a grounding, this is protection. Before all parties in Seireitei have digested the news, letting them stay in the Spiritual Arts Academy is the safest choice.
On the evening of the third day, Chojiro Sasakibe appeared at the door of the dormitory area. "Shunsui Kyōraku, Jūshirō Ukitake, Commander-in-Chief summoned"
The door of captain First Division's office was open. When Kyōraku and Ukitake walked in, Yamamoto was sitting behind the desk reviewing documents.
He raised his head, his eyes swept across the faces of the two people, and finally fell on Asauchi at their waists. The door of the office was gently closed behind them, and Sasakibe was guarding the door.
Ben's voice sounded particularly clear in the quiet office, "Both knives resonate?"
"Yeah" Kyōraku put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist and put away his usual playful smile.
Ukitake also nodded
Yamamoto was silent for a moment, then put down the pen in his hand, folded his hands on the desk, looked at the two teenagers in front of him, and then said solemnly
"From today on, you will learn from me. In addition to the Spiritual Arts Academy classes, I will also teach you the additional Kidō, Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Shunpo, and Reiatsu controls."
Kyōraku's smile solidified
